Back home

After a short break at home in The Lakes, I will be heading to Wales tomorrow for a week's climbing trip with Lorenzo. I have spent a couple of days at home seeing friends and family but also managed to fit in a bit of climbing. First of all I went bouldering up at a small venue near to my house, Cowraik Quarry, which has some good problems on red sandstone. I also spent a day at St Bee's both bouldering an trying out some of the sport routes, climbing 6 routes from F5 - F7a+. The crag classic Dreaming of Red Rocks is definitely worth a climb. Today I was out with Dave Pattinson and we ended up at Raven's in Langdale and climbed Holly Tree Direct (HVS 4c) and then we top roped the classic Trilogy (E5 6a). Whilst in Wales we will be camping so I will let you know how I got on when I get back next weekend.
